Linda Harvey: Anti-Gay 'Yuck Factor' Is God-Given Instinct

Christian conservative Linda Harvey
argues that God has endowed people to be repulsed by gay sex.

Harvey, the founder of the Columbus,
Ohio-based Mission America and a frequent contributor to the
conservative website WND.com, said during an interview with Sandy
Rios of the American Family Association (AFA) to promote her book
Maybe He's Not Gay that children are being taught to ignore
their God-given instinct against homosexuality.

“What's happening to children is the
whole reason I got into this issue to begin with, because they are
being manipulated at very impressionable ages,” Harvey
said on Rio's radio program. “They are being told … you need
to not find this stuff repulsive.”

“You need to find these sex acts,
once you find out about them at way too early an age, you need to not
find them repulsive,” she continued. “The yuck factor is being
taken way from our kids and that is a huge preventative issue and a
common sense issue on homosexuality where people know, 'Wait I would
never do that.' Yeah, that's a basic instinct that God has given you
and it's the right one.”

Harvey added that gay rights will
“overturn male-female dating patterns, everything, every cultural
norm that children are being taught. So we really need to stand up
against this.”

Harvey's book argues against groups
such as GLSEN, which work to create a safe space in schools for
children who are or may be perceived to be gay, lesbian, bisexual or
transgender. The aim of such groups is to lower anti-gay bias in an
effort to reduce bullying and prevent troubled young teens from
committing suicide.
